Water pressure and dirty water issues (please read)

lostingreenwoodhts

Something from the CCGH, WTA and Stable Bklyn news groups and out to South Slope, Windsor Terrace and Sunset Park (basically Community Board 7):

Pre-holiday and very chilly greetings,

A belated e-mail, promised last week after CB7's December full board meeting.

Prior to the meeting, starting in mid/late November, CB7 and the newsgroups had been getting complaints and queries into low water pressure and murky water conditions. In the Greenwood Hts. area, it seemed to be from 20th St. to 22nd St., 5th to 7th Aves and 23rd St between 5th/6th Aves. In the South Slope, the conditions were around Prospect Ave to 15th Street, between 4th/5th Aves.

That being said, I need y'all's help to help CB7 track the issue, whether they be localized or a larger systemic issue. With the info, CB7 can goto DEP and other related agencies.

Three questions to answer:

1. Have you experienced low water pressure and/or murky/dirty water recently? (in the past month and even if you were not in the "affected areas")

2. If so, where are you located and for how long? (or is it still going on)

3. Have your neighbors experienced problems who may not be on these list servs?

Thanks for your help in advance, and have a great holiday break and New Year's eve.

Aaron

i realize you posted this several months ago, but it came up in a google search. we live on 14th and 4th and have been experiencing low water pressure and brown water (hot or cold) randomly over the past few months. Today it was expecially bad. I filed a complaint with DEP for the first time today.
